Phoenix Women Freed After Ransom Paid
A man and his wife were freed after ransom was paid in a desert kidnap case. The trail led seven miles into the Superstition Mountains where the husband followed a note to walk a direction. He found his wife on a mountain ledge as the kidnapper stood above with rifle and revolvers. The kidnapper fired a warning shot, the husband dropped the valise with the money, and the pair waited while the kidnapper collected the ransom before helping them down. The kidnapper planned to walk nearly 26 miles to Canyon Lake and hitchhike back.
